What can I do on the Home page?

The Home page is your daily overview. At a glance, it shows the block that's currently active (or about to be), how much screen time you've used today, and what blocks are coming up later. It's also the place where you start a Block Now session, snooze Auto Block, or take a break from an active block.

Small touch: the Home page's background shifts color with the time of day, so it looks a little different morning, afternoon, evening, and night.

Switch which day you're viewing

A date selector sits at the top of the Home page. By default it shows Today. Use the left chevron to scroll back to past days; the right chevron lets you return toward today.

You can go back as far as the day you installed Detox. You can't scroll into the future; the Home page only shows what's already happened (or what's currently happening).

See and control your current block

Just below the date, the My current block widget shows whichever block is most relevant right now: an active Scheduled Block, an active Block Now session, or Auto Block when nothing else is running.

The widget shows the block's name, its current status, and a single action button. The action button changes depending on what's active:

• Snooze when Auto Block is the only active thing. Tap to pause Auto Block monitoring for a chosen duration. (See What is Snooze?)
• Pause when a Scheduled Block or Block Now session is currently blocking. Tap to take a break (if you enabled Allow breaks on the block). (See What are Breaks?)
• Resume when you're currently on a break. Tap to end the break early.
• Unlock when a Scheduled Block has reached its end time but is set to Manual Unlock. Tap to release your apps.

Tapping the widget itself (not just the action button) opens that block's info sheet for more details and the option to edit, deactivate, or delete.

When you have no active block (Auto Block included) and you're viewing today, the widget switches to a quick suggestion to start a Block Now session. Tapping it opens the Block Now create sheet.

See today's screen time at a glance

Below the block widget, the screen time chart shows a cumulative curve of your time on Monitored Apps for the day, against a baseline diagonal. Green means you're under your usual pace; coral means you've gone past it. The number above the chart is your aggregate screen time for the selected day across all your Monitored Apps. There's no per-app breakdown here; the chart is meant as a quick daily signal, not a precise audit.

Tap the chart to jump to the Progress page for the long view of your screen time (weekly, monthly, lifetime). The Home page is the daily glance; the Progress page is where the bigger picture lives. See What can I do on the Progress page? for what's there.

If the chart looks wrong or stuck, see Why does my screen time look wrong on the home page?.

See what's coming up later

Below the chart, the Upcoming section lists the Scheduled Blocks that haven't started yet on the selected day. If you're looking at a past day, the section shows what blocks ran that day instead. Tap any item to open its info sheet.

When there are no more blocks coming today, this section is hidden.

Where to go from the Home page

The Home page is the daily overview. For things you can't do here, switch tabs from the nav bar at the bottom:

• To create, edit, or delete a block: open the Blocks tab.
• To see longer-term trends (weekly, monthly, lifetime stats): tap the chart, or open the Progress tab directly.
• To change which apps and websites are monitored, or find troubleshooting (Reset Blocks, Reconnect Screen Time, Urgent Unblock, the chat): open the Settings tab.
